ON WORKING DAYS . 2 Expeditions to Indian Himalaya in 2005 By HARISH KAPADIA Hon Editor, The Himalayan Journal Overall 46 Foreign and 47 Indian expeditions climbed in the Indian Himalaya during the year. This was overall, a lower figure than the normal number of expeditions during ayear. Amongst the foreign expeditions, more that half climbed the usual peaks like Kun, Kedar Dome, Nun and others. Many of the expeditions faced bad weather in mid September and some had to give up due to poor snow and ice conditions in early October. Amongst the high peaks attempted, Changabang and Kamet, now open for foreigners, and Nanda Devi East were important ascents. The leader of the Italian expedition to Nanda Devi East, Marco Dalla Longa lost his life due to high altitude oedema. The team had carried a satellite phone (supposed to be illegal!), which could have saved his life as a helicopter rescue was arranged. However, as the luck would have it, the helicopter took four days to reach due to bad weather and by that time he had lost his life. His body and the entire team were ultimately evacuated to Munsiary and then Delhi. Many expeditions complained of problems in Uttaranchal State, where the Government has imposed a stiff new climbing fee structure.

  • Classification of the Himalaya
    Classification of the Himalaya COMPILED BY H. ADAMS CARTER This study aims to classify the different groups of the Himalaya from its eastern end westward through the peaks of Garhwal (Uttar Pradesh) in India. Wherever data have been available, it gives a listing of all peaks above 6500 meters (21,326 feet) and all officially named peaks between 6000 meters (19,685 feet) and 6500 meters with altitudes and coordinates. In some ranges, where peaks are lower, some unnamed peaks in the second category have been included. The Nepalese section depends almost entirely on the outstanding work done by Dr. Harka Gurung and Dr. Ram Krishna Shrestha. These two Nepalese scholars put together an inventory of all Nepalese peaks above 6000 meters with the latest altitudes, corrected names and coordinates. They used primarily the Survey of India topographic sheets at a scale of an inch to a mile (1:63,360). They also used maps ar 1:50,000 prepared for the Sino-Nepalese Boundary Agreement of 1979. For the Indian regions, extensive use was made of three maps published by the Schweizerische Stiftung fur Alpine Forschungen (Swiss Foundation for Al- pine Research) of Sikkim, Garhwal East and Garhwal West. Harish Kapadia and Dhiran Toolsides in particular gave great assistance by checking Indian data against further information available to them. Colonel Lakshmi Pati Shanna made valuable suggestions. Dr. Shi Yafeng also helped by providing an excel- lent Chinese map of the Everest region. In all sections, the Japanese Mountain- eering Maps of the World proved indispensable. Dr. Zbigniew Kowalewski had made fine studies, which are reflected here.

  • Wetlands in the Himalaya: Securing Services for Livelihoods About ICIMOD
    Special Publication Wetlands in the Himalaya: Securing Services for Livelihoods About ICIMOD The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), is a regional knowledge development and learning centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalaya – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan – and based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Globalisation and climate change have an increasing influence on the stability of fragile mountain ecosystems and the livelihoods of mountain people. ICIMOD aims to assist mountain people to understand these changes, adapt to them, and make the most of new opportunities, while addressing upstream-downstream issues. We support regional transboundary programmes through partnership with regional partner institutions, facilitate the exchange of experience, and serve as a regional knowledge hub. We strengthen networking among regional and global centres of excellence. Overall, we are working to develop an economically and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the living standards of mountain populations and to sustain vital ecosystem services for the billions of people living downstream – now, and for the future. About HICAP The Himalayan Climate Change Adaptation Programme (HICAP), one of the initiatives under ICIMOD’s Regional Programme on Adaptation to Change, is a six-year research programme initiated in 2012. It is implemented by ICIMOD in collaboration with CICERO and GRID-Arendal, with responsibilities for overall research competence and communication and outreach respectively. With 28 international and regional partners, HICAP carries out basic and applied research as well as policy engagement to contribute to enhanced resilience to change, particularly climate change, through improved understanding of vulnerabilities, opportunities, and potentials for adaptation.

  • Limnological Study on Two High Altitude Himalayan Ponds, Badrinath, Uttarakhand
    International Journal of Ecosystem 2012, 2(5): 103-111 DOI: 10.5923/j.ije.20120205.04 Limnological Study on two High Altitude Himalayan Ponds, Badrinath, Uttarakhand Pramod Kumar1,*, Ashwani Wanganeo1, Fozia Sonaullah1 , Rajni Wanganeo2 1Department of Environmental Sciences and Limnology, Barkatullah University, Bhopal, 462026, India 2Department of Zoology, Jayawanti Haksar Govt. P.G. College, Betul, M.P., India Abstract Present study has been done on two high altitude Himalayan ponds situated near the Badrinath temple, Uttarakhand (India). During the investigation physico-chemical and biological analysis (Phytoplankton & Zooplankton) were carried out at two selected sites one in each pond. A total 131species of phytoplankton and 51 species of zooplankton were encountered from both the ponds. Among phytoplankton, class Cyanophyceae was the most dominant whereas, among zooplankton Rotifera was the dominant class during the study period. Most of the phytoplankton and zooplankton species recorded from both the water bodies are indicators of higher trophic status. Physico-chemical features of ponds showed the nutrient rich water of both the ponds. Presence of various planktonic species and higher trophic status of both the ponds at high altitude showed the impact of high anthropogenic pressure as well as favourable environmental factors like temperature. Also, the impact of global warming on micro flora and fauna present in water bodies situated at high altitude has been discussed. Present study is preliminary work on these two ponds which will provide the baseline data for the further studies.
